We had fun videotaping part of a lesson from a different camera angle. My student and I sat in front of our separate pianos, collaborating on two Bach Inventions. (Number 4 in D minor and number 13 in A minor)
In the first segment, my pupil is playing through the d minor Invention, mostly on her own, with some teacher input and demonstration.
The second part offers a slow rendering of the A minor Invention as a duet between student and teacher–the playing is intentionally behind tempo to flesh out the main subject as it weaves between the right hand and left.
***
I’ve included my separate performance of this composition that is in tempo.
All the two-part Inventions have a dialog or counterpoint between voices that require the performer’s attention to detail.
